I have a feeling that'd be hysterical. Imagine the jokes he'd crack during his news monologues about "The Bad Place".

Opebo doesn't strike me as the type of person whose humour would be palatable the way Stewart and Oliver's are.

I would want opebo to expand beyond U.S. news, and just call it "This Week In Despair", with a nice break in the middle for happy stories about free love and pleasure-seeking.

he'd be better as a talk show host, interacting with people.  spontaneity highlights his major skills.  having to read from a teleprompter requires other skills, 'delivery' and etc.  I don't think he'd enjoy that activity and thus wouldn't be so good at it.

The repertoire would be quite limited (e.g., Thailand, prostitutes, guillotines, certain culinary delights, monarchical Marxism, old clunky cars, errant election forecasting), so the show would become very repetitive.

I would totally watch the grainy youtube uploads of VHS recordings of opebo hosting a late-night Thai local access show. Maybe he can work his way up from there.

I'm switching sides post Stewart retirement. He'd be much better than nearly every candidate.
